Patrick Stewart
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, we got to see Patrick Stewart in Jean Luc Picard’s role. The members of the cast worked hard into the show and even attended conventions to promote it. Despite their efforts, the actor said that he did not get residual checks from the show. At the height of his career, he got hundreds of thousands per series. He received an even higher salary for the movies, earning as much as $13 million for one of those. If you are a fan of the franchise, you should check out Star Trek: Picard.
